FROM gold to gray	A
Our mild sweet day	A
Of Indian Summer fades too soon	B
But tenderly	C
Above the sea	C
Hangs white and calm the hunter's moon	B
In its pale fire	D
The village spire	E
Shows like the zodiac's spectral lance	F
The painted walls	G
Whereon it falls	G
Transfigured stand in marble trance	F
O'er fallen leaves	H
The west wind grieves	H
Yet comes a seed time round again	I
And morn shall see	C
The State sown free	C
With baleful tares or healthful grain	J
Along the street	K
The shadows meet	K
Of Destiny whose hands conceal	L
The moulds of fate	M
That shape the State	M
And make or mar the common weal	L
Around I see	C
The powers that be	C
I stand by Empire's primal springs	N
And princes meet	K
In every street	K
And hear the tread of uncrowned kings	N
Hark through the crowd	O
The laugh runs loud	O
Beneath the sad rebuking moon	B
God save the land	P
A careless hand	P
May shake or swerve ere morrow's noon	B
No jest is this	Q
One cast amiss	Q
May blast the hope of Freedom's year	R
Oh take me where	S
Are hearts of prayer	S
And foreheads bowed in reverent fear	R
Not lightly fall	L
Beyond recall	L
The written scrolls a breath can float	T
The crowning fact	U
The kingliest act	U
Of Freedom is the freeman's vote	T
For pearls that gem	V
A diadem	V
The diver in the deep sea dies	W
The regal right	X
We boast to night	X
Is ours through costlier sacrifice	Y
The blood of Vane	J
His prison pain	J
Who traced the path the Pilgrim trod	Z
And hers whose faith	A2
Drew strength from death	B2
And prayed her Russell up to God	Z
Our hearts grow cold	C2
We lightly hold	C2
A right which brave men died to gain	J
The stake the cord	D2
The axe the sword	D2
Grim nurses at its birth of pain	J
The shadow rend	D2
And o'er us bend	D2
O martyrs with your crowns and palms	E2
Breathe through these throngs	F2
Your battle songs	F2
Your scaffold prayers and dungeon psalms	G2
Look from the sky	H2
Like God's great eye	H2
Thou solemn moon with searching beam	I2
Till in the sight	D2
Of thy pure light	D2
Our mean self seekings meaner seem	I2
Shame from our hearts	J2
Unworthy arts	J2
The fraud designed the purpose dark	K2
And smite away	A
The hands we lay	A
Profanely on the sacred ark	K2
To party claims	L2
And private aims	L2
Reveal that august face of Truth	M2
Whereto are given	N2
The age of heaven	N2
The beauty of immortal youth	M2
So shall our voice	O2
Of sovereign choice	O2
Swell the deep bass of duty done	N2
And strike the key	C
Of time to be	C
When God and man shall speak as one	N2
